Wild Card

Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer with her service dog, Harry, is sent to Echuca to investigate when a body is discovered on the Victorian side of the Murray River. Complications arise when the body is identified as Freddie Jones, a bikie who lived in Moama, New South Wales. This means that more than one police jurisdiction may become involved in the investigation.

Zoe and her team set out to learn about the local bikie gang and any related crime, particularly drug activity, in the area. The significance of a playing card found on the victim's body is also of interest to Zoe. It is not long before she learns of a possible mafia gang in New South Wales that may be involved in Freddie's death. It is obvious that drug smuggling is occurring in the area though she is assured by the police over the border that everything is under control. Then another body is discovered near where Freddie's body was found.

This is another 'cannot put down' novel in the Aussie Noir genre.
